Top forage – Alfalfa Hay in 300 kg bales from Germany

Alfalfa from Germany is a structurally and protein-rich forage. The plants benefit from
sufficient rain and sun in Germany. This leads to ideal growth and best ingredients.

Alfalfa hay comes in large bales, ideal for supplementing the feed ration for cows, bulls,
camels, sheep & horses.

Machine-dried: this leads to a fast drying process in which the valuable ingredients
remain in the hay-bale.

"The quality is perfect. Ideal for cows, horses, sheep

and camels."
